But there is still stuff to do Thursday and Friday too.

Although motorcycle enthusiasts, HOG owners and everyday bikers are expected to begin showing up days before, York Bike Night is back, and this time it's on Saturday.

The switch came, according to organizers, after years of feedback from people who wanted to attend the event and the Harley-Davidson open house but couldn't get free on Fridays because of work commitments.

For those eager to be downtown on Friday night, the Vintage Iron Bike Review will be open from 5 to 9 p.m. on Continental Square as well as during Bike Night from 5 to 9 p.m. Saturday.

Here are the city's plans for the week:

A highlight for spectators, the traditional motorcycle parade kicks off from the York Expo Center at 4:30 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 22, with York Mayor Mike Helfrich as the grand marshal.

There is no charge or preregistration required to participate, and all makes and models are welcome. Lineup begins at 2:30 p.m., and bikes roll out of the fairgrounds at 4:30 p.m. Helfrich will ride in a sidecar of a Harley-Davidson driven by Dave Laugerman.

The new 2019 Harley-Davidson models will be on display in Continental Square following the parade.
